About our Groups & Ministries
Aging Support Network
This ministry provides seminars, information and resources for those with questions about the aging process and their caregivers.
Ambassador Program
Our Holy Trinity Ambassadors are parish members who welcome new parishioners to Holy Trinity and provide tours of the Holy Trinity Campus at several New Parishioner Orientation events throughout the year and follow up with those attending. If you are interested in becoming an ambassador, please contact Katie Wolf.
Book Discussion Group
The weekly book discussion group has been meeting for more than 18 years and generally reads four or five books a year. Selections are promoted in the bulletin and parish eLetter. We meet weekly on Thursdays at 7:15 pm by Zoom to discuss and debate current, timely books on contemporary Catholic topics. Contact Brian Flanagan for more information.
Camp Trinity
Join fellow Holy Trinity parishioners each September for a weekend of playing and praying together at the beautiful Shrine Mont retreat center nestled in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains. The program includes programs for adults, teens and children. From bingo to midnight hikes to thematic discussions, Camp Trinity offers something for everyone. Contact Sarah Babson for more information.
Caroling to the Homebound
Join Holy Trinity parishioners of all ages in early December for caroling in the Georgetown neighborhood. Visit the Sisters of Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School and homebound parishioners. No singing experience necessary. Afterwards, enjoy hot chocolate and holiday cookies in the cafeteria. Contact Sara Keese for more information.
Counting Ministry
This ministry is responsible for counting the weekly mass collection and preparing it for deposit. During the academic year we meet on Mondays at 8:00am, and during the Summer we meet on Mondays at 9:00am for approximately 1.5 hours. There is an online sign-up so volunteers can choose their own shifts with no minimum commitment. For its members, the Counting Ministry has become a satisfying way to start the week and an opportunity for fellowship and conversation with other parishioners while counting. To learn more or to volunteer, please contact Margaret McConnell.
Often described as a spiritual oasis, the Holy Trinity gardens provide a peaceful place for prayer, quiet spaces for students and a welcoming respite for our friends and neighbors. The Garden Ministry serves to promote fellowship and support the building of community in the way of St. Ignatius, finding God in all things. Garden Ministry friends gather to plant, care for and enjoy one of the most beautiful gardens in Georgetown. The Holy Trinity Festival of Flowers, sponsored by the Garden Ministry, support maintenance and planting projects for our parish campus gardens. Join us in the gardens on planting Saturdays and at Festival committee meetings as we plan for our upcoming events. Learn more!
Hospitality
Come to meet other parishioners over coffee and donuts in McKenna Hall every Sunday after the 9:00am and 11:30am Masses. Donations are accepted to support Parish Life activities. If you would like to volunteer to assist with set up, please contact parishlife@trinity.org.
New Parishioner Orientation
All are welcome to register as parishioners of Holy Trinity Catholic Church. To register, please fill out the online registration form. Three times a year (on the last Sunday of January, April and September), we welcome all new parishioners to an orientation. Come meet our pastor, Father Kevin Gillespie, and the staff. Learn about our ministries and enjoy light refreshments. Our Ambassadors will then take you on a campus tour. No RSVP required and children are always welcome.
Parish Picnic and Mass
Each year in early June, Holy Trinity invites all parishioners and their families to the Annual Parish Picnic and Mass. Starting with Sunday morning Mass celebrated by Father Gillespie, lunch and fun follows. Enjoy hot dog, salads and beer and games for children and adults while listening to the DJ on the beautiful grounds of Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School.
Prayer Ministry
The Prayer Ministry helps individuals experience God’s healing love by providing them an opportunity to be listened to and prayed for and with by a team of Holy Trinity volunteers. If you have a prayer request, please contact Parish Life. If you would like to join the Prayer Ministry team, please contact Janice Wilder.
